SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ:
TRMB) and Doosan Infracore North America announced today that
Doosan will offer the Trimble® Earthworks Grade Control
Platform for Excavators as an optional factory-installed machine
control solution for the North American market. Trimble Earthworks
is a grade control solution designed to make grading more accurate,
faster and easier in a range of applications, including residential
and commercial sites, trenches, embankments, ditches and finished
slope work.
Doosan will offer a 2D machine control factory-installed option
that includes a 10-inch Android™ tablet display running the Trimble
Earthworks software application. This option includes rugged
Trimble hardware, designed and tested for the harsh conditions
found on construction sites.
"We're excited to partner with Trimble because it will help
expand our Doosan excavator technology offerings and boost our
customers' productivity," said Jaeuk Kim, Doosan's director of
Product Management. "Doosan crawler excavator customers can enhance
their trenching accuracy with the increased technology,
contributing to an improved ROI. And our dealers can now offer this
directly from the factory to our customers."
"Trimble and Doosan are working together to make it easier for
contractors to benefit from construction technology," said
Tom Austin, OEM business development
manager for Trimble Civil Construction. "Our mutual customers will
benefit from the collaboration between Doosan and Trimble with
improved productivity, less down time and faster ROI."
Excavator Automatics
With Trimble Earthworks, contractors can now take advantage of
integrated 2D grade control with automatics for excavators,
allowing operators to create smooth, flat or sloped surfaces more
easily. When the excavator is placed in Autos mode, the operator
controls the stick, and Trimble Earthworks controls the boom and
bucket to stay on grade, reducing overcut and increasing
production. By automating excavator operation, Trimble Earthworks
allows operators to achieve grade consistently, with high accuracy
and in less time. Customers should check with their local Doosan
equipment dealer and confirm if this option is available for their
preferred model.
Upgrade to 3D
Contractors can work with their Doosan dealer to upgrade their
2D system to 3D through a local SITECH® dealer. SITECH
is Trimble's global distribution network and local Doosan dealer
technology partner, providing installation services, personalized
training and local technical support for Trimble construction
technology.
Availability
Factory-installed Trimble machine control for Doosan crawler
excavators is now available to order in North America from the Doosan dealer
network.
